The wait is over – President Joe Biden has announced his reelection campaign. Dispelling any lingering doubts that he would step back from the arena, Biden is again on a collision course with former President Donald Trump.

And what happens now to Ron DeSantis and the other GOP hopefuls that aspire to move into the White House?

Former Chairman of the Republican Party and MSNBC political analyst Michael Steele (R-MD) joins Fernando for a deep dive into the emerging 2024 election, the challenges for both Biden and Trump – and explore the queasy feeling many voters have about replaying the acrimony of the 2020 presidential election.

Adoption in America Is Declining—The Need Isn’t

Two weeks ago, more than 50 kids gathered at Busch Gardens in Tampa, Florida, not for the roller coasters or the holiday decorations, but to be legally united with their “forever” families.

Events like this happened across the country in November in celebration of National Adoption Month.
